The World the Cold War Made - Order, Chaos and the Return of History (Paperback, New)

The World the Cold War Made examines the Cold War and its lasting legacy. Cronin explores the creation and structure of the post-war settlement; its successes, failures and adaptions; and the eventual coming apart of the post-war order in the 1980s and early 1990s. Cronin argues that the current state of the world must be understood against the backdrop of the post-war order that until recently governed, prevented or distorted political and economic change.
He shows how this legacy has allowed some nations and industries to grow but has blocked others' paths to economic development. At the same time, he states that the end of the Cold War has removed powerful external constraints on the political choices of nations, allowing previously disenfranchised people the freedom to chart distinctive paths into the next century that are more responsive to their own histories.
